Africa Plan

This will be the second leg of our EPIC adventure around the world. The following is what we have so far and is subject to change over the course of our time left at home.

This leg of our journey is to start around the end of April or early May. The blue will for sure happen at some point along the way but the red will be tentative depending on funding and safety precautions.

We will fly into Cairo, Eygpt

We will explore the pyramids and the bus down to visit the ruins in Luxor.

We may bus to Israel and Jordan to explore the area as well.

From Cairo we will fly into Mekele, Ethiopia

Here we will trek through the most inhospitable land in the world at Dallol and Erta Ale found in the Danakil Depression.

We will then travel to the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia to track the baboon troops that reside there.

Next we will travel to the Uganda/Kenya border where we will climb Mount Elgon and visit Kitum cave.
